The line hit like a freight train.

We’re entering an era of desperation. Capital is clawing for shelter. The US has made it clear it will tax, print, or regulate its way out of every mess-starting with a 2% tax on CRE transactions, because commercial real estate is the easiest pinata. But you can’t force capital to stay. It runs. And when it runs, it doesn’t trickle, it floods.

We’re watching the great unbundling of an old system.

Owners are pulling back. Buildings are half empty. GCs are bloated. Firms are waking up to the reality that their overhead is a real risk. CRE is no longer a “safe place to park capital – and every major player knows it. This isn’t a dip. It’s a structural shift.

That’s why we’re building Aedifico

We’re not here to decorate the old world. We’re here to help build what comes next: leaner, faster, more autonomous execution. Our platform connects real estate owners directly with architects, engineers, permitting pros, and SME-level builders-without a bloated firm, brokerage, or GC taking a 30% cut.

We replace overhead with access. Bureaucracy with speed. Gatekeeping with precision.

If Arthur Hayes is right-and history suggests he is-then the winners of this new era will be the ones who move quickly and build light. That’s exactly what Aedifico is here to do.
